1. Place the AF Meter on the steering
column (or wherever you want it)
2. Route the wires down the steering column and under the gauges
3. Continue to route the wires towards the gas pedal
4.
1g
a. Remove the passenger side foot panel of the center console to expose the ECU
b. Unbolt the ECU and pull it out to expose the wiring bundle
2g
a. Remove the driver’s side center foot panel to expose the ECU
5. Using the picture below find the appropriate wires for a 1g or 2g DSM
6. Using the supplied taps, tap the AF Meter’s colored wires to the colors shown in
the diagram (actual ECU wire colors will not match). Be sure you are referencing the
ECU plug to the picture correctly. It is not uncommon for people to have the ECU
plug upside down and connect the wires wrong
7. Tuck all excess wire so that it can not be caught by your feet and can not come loose due to vibration while driving
8. Replace the kick panel
9. Use the supplied Velcro to secure the AF Meter to the steering column
10. Turn the ignition to ON. You should see the AF Meter power up. (NOTE: the back light
will not be visible in sunlight but will be bright enough for night time viewing).
If the unit does not power up check the red and black wires for proper
connection.
11. Start the car
12. If the voltage does not start to cycle up and down after 2 minutes shut the car off
and check the connection of the green wire. That includes both that it is actually
making a connection AND that it is connected to the correct wire. This has to be the
#1 most common cause of emails to me with meter problems. If the meter still seems
to display a single value go for a drive. If it cycles while cruising you then have
an idle mixture problem. If the meter still doesn't do anything it is very likely
that you have a dead o2 sensor. If the meter displays battery voltage fine
when the switch is toggled then the meter is working correctly and it is either a bad
connection or other problem with your fuel control system.
13. Enjoy your new Backlit Digital Air Fuel Ratio Meter.
Notes about the AF Meter's operation:
- The AF Meter will initially show a very low value till the O2 Sensor warms up. At that point it should start to cycle high and low. If not check the connections and consider that your o2 sensor may very well be bad. It is more common that you think.
- Due to the 3 sample/sec refresh rate the AF Meter will appear to jump around a lot while in closed loop mode. This is not a problem when at WOT as the O2 value will not be jumping around as quickly.
- The AF Meter is NOT a diagnostic tool for testing the reaction time of the O2 sensor. It is meant as a monitoring device only.
- Negative values during high vacuum situations (coasting in gear) are normal and nothing to be concerned about.
- If you see 13.8 volts showing on the meter this is your battery voltage. Flip the switch on the back to see O2 voltage.
NOTE NOTE
NOTE
You should look at the picture as if the wires are coming out or the harness.
Please wire accordingly. If you do not get power or you are getting odd readings plesae
check your wiring FIRST before emailing me telling me the meter is broken. 99% of
all emails i get can be attributed to cusomters looking at the pictures as if they had
removed the plug and were looking at the face rather than the wires coming out of the
screen.
